The place is pretty run down, window less rooms, sewer smells coming from the bathrooms; and cleanliness is quite lacking (e.g. stains on the sheets). Staff are nice and doing their best.

저렴한 가격대비 만족도높습니다. 다만 외국인친구들 단체로 올 경우 땀냄새,소음,대마냄새 심합니다. 따뜻한물 잘 나옵니다. 근데 2층화장실은 사용뷸가에 매번 1층화장실가야해서 좀 귀찮고 조식은 다른호스텔대비 제일 부실한편입니다. 시설관리가 좀 미흡합니다. 바닥 소리, 화장실 청결, 물안빠짐 ,조식 외부 식당까지 걸어서 3분거리 불편한게 좀 많습니다. 그래도 ...

Great hostel, very cheap but much better than expected for this price. The staff, especially Carlos, was very kind and helpful. Not full stars because washing opportunities are advertised but there are none. but there are some nearby. Except of that veryy good!

Todos fueron súper amables. El hotel está frente a la plaza San Francisco cerca del centro y el mercado. Reservé una habitación con baño compartido y me dieron una con baño privado (:

We liked the hostel, it is a very good deal for the price. The staff is also very helpful, the older man in the reception is very sweet, and generally showed that he cared for us when we got sick❣️ Kitchen is not the best, not much space and lack of equipment. Yet, we stayed here each time we came back to Cusco!

Podrían mejorar en muchos aspectos, el hostel no está muy cuidado y le falta limpieza profunda. Me cobraron en soles con un cambio muy arriba del promedio... La ubicación es muy buena, no lo recomendaría para más de una noche.

This is a quiet hostel in a good part of town. However, the bathrooms were very filthy and falling apart. Black mold everywhere and only one working shower from what we could find. Kitchen was very small but functional. Found bugs on the bedsheet. Staff is very friendly but it wouldn’t be my first choice for a hostel, especially if you are looking for something social.

There was no lighting in the hallways at night making the hostel very creepy and hard to navigate. The bathrooms (especially the showers) were very dirty. The location was great and the price was good, but the environment of the hostel was incredibly off putting.

Établissement qui d'apparence a plein de charme sur les photos mais une fois sur place grosse déception. Hostel froid, pas accueillant, l'intérieur est complètement à l'abandon. La propriété des parties communes est à désirer. Les salles de bains sont extrêmement salles. Difficile de se dire qu'on va se rendre propre dans un endroit aussi peu entretenu. WiFi annoncé à l'accueil mais clairement inexistant dans les chambres.

Great location, private room was fantastic and great staff. Their page may need an update though, as they no longer have a bar, food or laundry service. They also did not have the daily activities that were advertised, but free breakfast at a cafe a short walk away was still available. Still lloved our stay, just needs a little clearer advertisement

I stayed on a private ensuite without windows, the building is also very old which is fine but the floor outside my room was very loud when anyone walked pass. It’s a hostel we’re people lives there. Not what I was expecting. Shower was terrible too.

Un lindo hostal en la zona centro de Cuzco. es muy cómodo y tiene todo lo necesario. la cocina me pareció sucia ya que la gente que la utilizaba no solía limpiar lo cual hacia que debías limpiar lo de alguien para poder utilizarlo. la habitación estaba muy bien y cumplía con lo que se ofrecía, la gente muy atenta
